CoolSculpting has been designed to treat nearly every part of the body such as the abdomen, arms, love handles, bra bulges, inner and outer thighs and even the chin. Treatment can be received during your lunch break and will not take you away from your daily routine.
Generally healthy individuals who are 20-30 pounds from their goal weight looking to treat areas of stubborn fat. Those above 30 pounds may still receive CoolSculpting, however, more treatments may be needed to achieve a peak result. Those who are closer to 50 pounds overweight would be advised to try diet and exercise and return to the clinic at a future date for treatment of the stubborn fat.
If you have a hernia mesh, you are not a candidate to treat areas of the abdomen with suction applicators such as CoolMax or CoolCore. CoolSmooth may be used however. Alternate areas may still be treated safely. Those taking blood thinners are advised against treatment with CoolSculpting.
While they have similar names, they should not be confused with CoolSculpting, an FDA cleared treatment for non-invasive fat reduction. Treatments like SculptSure, Velashape and Venus Freeze are “laser treatments” that shrink fat cells temporarily. While they can possibly kill fat off, they are not as strong as CoolSculpting to break down fat for good. So while you may see a reduction in the areas treated, there is no long-term damage sustained to fat cells that CoolSculpting provides.
